Treaty of Campo Formio

The Treaty of Campo Formio was a peace treaty signed on 18 October 1797 by French general Napoleon Bonaparte and Austrian representative Philipp von Cobenzl, ending the state of war between the French First Republic and the Holy Roman Empire. The treaty allowed for Austria to take over the Republic of Venice's former lands, while France cemented its gains on the right bank of the Rhine River. It ended the War of the First Coalition, although Great Britain remained at war with France.
